Starting…

Please connect to a device to finish the ‘starting’ phase.

Hmm, how do I connect?..maybe just touch my laptop and it will connect.

I tried but it didn't work, i guess i need a powered device, ah my phone. I went downstairs, with backup lights lightning up the dark stairs.

I found my phone in the kitchen, my parents are upstairs. I turned on my phone and waited for it, once it finished nothing happened, let’s try something else like..bluetooth?

I turned it on and there it was, a device in my name with a computer icon? Huh I'm a computer now, anyway my name is ‘Yassine’, i connected it and waited.

Device ‘SAM-870D’ Connected.

Intelligence Mind: Your mind now works like a computer, you can tap into systems at will, due to having this ability your empathy is reduced by 30%.

Cool cool, i won’t get tired of this.

I opened my phone, I was about to enter the pin code but decided to try using my now ‘computer’ mind.

I closed my eyes and focused on the connection, a blue line. I followed it and went through a white electronic gate, beyond it are many blue lines going in and out of white gates, it was truely a sight to behold, a whole world. The virtual world but this was just my phone , i can’t imagine what the world network will look like.

I went forward but something stopped me, it was a blue barrier, so I put my hand on it. Yes hand! I have a bluish body here. I focused which was pretty easy; it didn’t even require me closing my eyes or doing anything else and the barrier disappeared.

Experience points: 0/200

Abilities: Intelligence Mind, Lock Picking

Huh, username is not set yet..i’m a fan of skynet so maybe i’ll borrow it’s name, or not. I need something original.

Hmm, hard to come up with something great and majestic...i think i got something. I pressed the ‘not-set’ text and a window popped up and I entered the name I'd go with in the virtual plane.

Username: Intelligence

I know, I know it’s too little. I wanted to add the ‘supreme’ word there but i rather not.

I retreated from the phone virtual space, and opened my eyes in the real world, the lights were back on yay, now to put my ability to work.

I’ll be learning everything I ever wanted and then build a foundation for my goal.
